With all the recent movements and potential movements, who would you pick to form a team with right now?

It has to be people that have been involved with F1 this season.

You need to pick a Team Principle, Design Chief, Engine supplier & two drivers.

For me:

Team Principle: James Vowles
Chief Designer/Design Director: Rob Marshall
Engine supplier: Mercedes
Driver: Oscar Piastri
Driver: Max Verstappen

Now, where's my consultancy fee....

Team Principle: David Croft (According to him, he knows more about F1 than anyone)
Chief Designer/Design Director: David Croft (He seems to know more about cars than anyone)
Engine supplier: Peugeot (only supplier in F1 history that matches Crofts performances)
Driver: David Croft (Must be better than anyone else, surely, with all the advice he gives)
Driver: Don't need one, can win the WDC and WCC without one




Sorry, might not have taken this seriously, its too nice today smile
